It's perfectly normal for someone who isn't afraid of being captured and having a bounty placed on them to want to come and see if they can receive the Blessing of the Void.

“Miss Sonia, the Void Goddess.”

"My name is Mayalos, and I am a Level 2 Bounty Hunter."

"I have been here for more than three months."

"This is enough to prove my sincerity in wanting to join the Cult of the Void."

“I understand perfectly well what you have said.”

"But could you explain the test even more clearly?"

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd, and there was a hint of impatience in the words.

Star-Lord looked over upon hearing the voice and saw a tall figure, at least three meters tall, a giant with a square face.

He had heard a lot about the name of this gargoyle, Mayalos, who possessed the superpower to turn into a giant stone statue.

It can transform into a stone giant over thirty meters tall, and its strength is quite astonishing.

“Mr. Mayalos, I have explained the rules very clearly.”

"All the trials are written on the stone tablet."

Sonia often encounters impatient people, so she wasn't flustered at all when Mayalos asked her question, and answered with a smile.

“When I came here three months ago, there were only a hundred people here, but now there are a thousand.”

"But not a single person passed the test."

"Isn't this test a bit too difficult for us?"

Upon hearing this formulaic answer, Mayalos, who had been holding back his frustration for months, could no longer contain himself and said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Yes, Miss Sonia, could you explain it to us in a clearer way?"

"Although a few months is not a long time, it is frustrating to stay here without making any progress."

Hearing Mayalos's words, the others couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"The trials on the stone tablet were personally set by Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void."

"The Void God Cult already has over five hundred members."

"This proves that more than 500 people passed the test."

"For every person who succeeds, there will be someone who fails."

"What you need to do is think about the meaning of the stone tablet and how to pass the test, rather than questioning the content of the test."

"If you have any doubts about the test, you may go back to where you came from."

Sonia, seeing Mayalos stirring up the emotions of those around her, smiled without changing her expression.

Mayalos is a person who is naturally gifted with superpowers, and is used to being arrogant and domineering in the outside world.

She'd seen it all over the years. When Kyle and the others came together, it was because she possessed superpowers.

They thought it would be easier to join the Cult of the Void, only to find that it didn't bring them any special power.

Although they didn't know where to start at first, none of them dared to shout in front of the Void Temple.

However, because Miss Lacey took the lead.

Even though Miss Lacey's actions seemed foolish and unreliable to the three of them, they still followed suit.

This mindset—the willingness to act even when you know it might be foolish, all for the sake of hope—is of utmost importance.

Because sincere faith is seen by many as a foolish thing.

The outside world now knows that the Blessing of the Void can open the path to becoming a powerful being, but such a blessing is not so easy to obtain.

Therefore, the fundamental test is whether one can firmly uphold their beliefs without being disturbed by external factors.

"Okay, then I'll go."

"I came here to seek greater power, not to suffer indignities."

"Spending several months here was a complete waste of time."

Mayalos blushed and paled as he heard these disrespectful words.

He wanted to curse a few words to vent his anger, but considering that this was the headquarters of the Void God Cult, he hesitated.

Knowing that he would die if he told anyone, Mayalos shook his head and walked down the steps.

Following Mayalos's words, the more than a thousand people who were originally staying there began to waver.

However, they left one by one, incredibly slowly, hoping that Sonia, as the Void God's Messenger, would loosen her grip and reveal more information.

But Sonia's expression remained unchanged as they left.

There are countless people eager to join the Cult of the Void, but only one in ten thousand can skip the trials.

Those who remain are often the ones with the deepest convictions.

It was merely a naive obsession with receiving the blessing of the Void God Cult and achieving instant success.

Under the influence of those around him, it would be difficult to persist until Mr. Kassadin was convinced.

So after more than ten minutes, only a little over two hundred people remained.

Those who stayed behind hoped that by staying while so many others departed, they might receive some response from Sonia.

“I am Sonia, the Void God Envoy of the Void God Cult.”

"I think you all have many questions about how to conduct the test."

"However, the names of those who have joined the Void God Cult's trials are all written on the stone tablet."

"So please trust everything your eyes tell you, and show your piety."

However, Sonia simply repeated what she had just said to those who remained, without revealing any other information.

This situation caused the more than two hundred people who had stayed behind to leave one by one, some angry, some disappointed, some regretful, and some lamenting that they had wasted their time.

In less than half an hour, only two people remained.

"Please make yourselves at home. Those who wish to stay on the island can do so, and those who wish to leave can do so at any time."

Seeing that only two people remained, Sonia glanced at the time, left a message, and then vanished from the spot.

Of the remaining two people, one of them also plans to leave.

Seeing this scene and hearing the sentiments of those leaving, Star-Lord was secretly alarmed.

Many people have stayed here for a month or two, but they have never received any response, progress bar, or any other prompts.

This made Star-Lord look at the doctrines and precepts on the stone tablet.

All that could be seen on the stone tablet was a single doctrine and a few precepts.

"Do you truly believe everything you see...?"

Star-Lord stood in front of the stone tablet, murmuring thoughtfully.

"Brother, she's already gone, so stop pretending."

"Do you think others haven't tried this in front of her?"

"Pretending, bribing, and spending lavishly on the island are all useless."

"Piety is an ethereal and intangible thing."

"Moreover, whether or not one is devout is now defined by others, and she is unwilling to explain how to demonstrate devotion."

"The longer you stay here, the more money you'll have to spend."

“Someone told me that the so-called test of piety is just a scheme by the Void God Cult to make money.”

"I didn't believe it before, but now I'm starting to believe it."

The man, who was about to leave, sneered when he saw Star-Lord's expression.

"Thank you for reminding me."

Star-Lord didn't intend to argue with the man after hearing these words, but instead politely replied.

Seeing that Star-Lord was still pretending, the man didn't bother to remind him and simply walked down the stairs.

He was also considering whether to stay there a little longer or go home directly.

Star-Lord personally disagrees with the claim that the money was being made through fraudulent means.

If the Void God Cult truly intends for outsiders to stay longer and stimulate consumption, then accommodation costs will not be so cheap.

Not to mention those who can make a lot of money directly through bounties.

For someone who was originally just a wage earner, 200 cosmic coins a day is not a small amount, but it's not too expensive to afford a place to stay.

On Xandar, there are 354 days a year. Even if you stay there all the time, the total accommodation cost would only be around 70,000.

Uncle Mike also said that as long as you prepare a few hundred thousand dollars, you can live comfortably here for a year.

Saving hundreds of thousands of yuan is not difficult for ordinary workers if they are willing to do so.

Moreover, Star-Lord had personally witnessed the terrifying power displayed by Kassadin, the God of the Void, and members of the Cult of the Void.

It's almost a universal consensus that collectors in the Void are not to be trifled with.

However, the Void God Cult attacked without hesitation, and even the High Celestial Venerable was reduced to a servant.

The combined wealth of collectors and Grandmasters is a number that countless people would never even dream of.

Therefore, for the Void God Cult, money is something that can be easily acquired through various means.

This means that there is absolutely no doubt about whether the Void God Cult's doctrine of giving everyone a chance is true or false.

Star-Lord had anticipated that bribery would be useless, because if it were effective...

Then the Void God Cult wouldn't have fewer than six hundred members to date, despite the large number of people eager to join.

To be honest, even Star-Lord didn't know how to demonstrate his piety.

But Star-Lord was certain that he absolutely did not want to wait until some unknown time to receive news of his bastard father's death.

He had only one thought: if given the chance, he would personally kill Igor.
